Fracture toughness of Al2O3/ZrSiO4 coatings obtained by multi-chamber gas-dynamic accelerator

In the current work the research of fracture toughness of Al2O3/xZrSiO4 composite coatings have been realized using automatic system for microhardness analysis. Al2O3/xZrSiO4 (x = 0, 3, 25 wt. %) coatings were produced from a mixture of cheap raw materials (alumina and zircon ZrSiO4) on the surface of stainless steels by a new multi-chamber gas-dynamic accelerator. It has been experimentally established that adding of ZrSiO4 increases fracture toughness of alumina coating

Deposition and characterization of alumina-titania coating by multi-chamber gas-dynamic sprayer

In this paper, alumina-titania coatings have been formed on aluminium substrate by multi-chamber detonation sprayer. The results show that the alumina-titania coatings consist of both fully melted regions and partially melted regions, and the fully melted region has a lamellar-like structur

Deposition and characterization of the titanium-based coating by a multi-chamber detonation sprayer

This work introduces some of the aspects of the deposition of titanium-based coating (80-120 μm thick) on aluminium samples using a multi-chamber detonation sprayer (MCDS). It was established that MCDS has provided the conditions for formation of a dense titanium-based coating with a porosity of less than 1.0%, microhardness 810±250 HV0.05 and a specific wear rate of 2.077·10-4 mm3(m·N)-

Structure and properties of the hardmetal coatings Cr3C2-25NiCr formed by a multi-chamber detonation sprayer

The hardmetal Cr3C2-25NiCr (180-220 μm thick) coatings have been produced on a steel substrate by a multi-chamber detonation sprayer (MCDS). The microstructures and properties of the hardmetal coatings were examined with the use of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray phase analysis, and a Vickers hardness tester with a 300 g test loa

Structure and the physico-mechanical properties of the ceramic coatings obtained by the cumulative -detonation device

Dense, with good adhesion to the substrate, hard, wear-resistant coatings from the powder of Al2O3 were obtained on the surface of the steel (STE255) by using the cumulative-detonation device. The results of investigations of the structure and physico-mechanical properties of the coatings by using scanning, optical microscopy, X-ray phase analysis, microhardness and tribological tests are presented. It was found that optimization of plasma spraying to helps reduce the porosity of coatings of Al2O3 less than 1 % and to increase the hardness of them to 1250 HV0.3. The tribological investigations have shown that the coatings of Al2O3 significantly increase the wear resistance of the sample STE255 and provide a low ability to wear out the coatin
